Stayed for work around Zushi.I've stayed at the Met's across the street, but this time I decided to stay here.The rooms and inside of the building were extremely clean and I felt that it was worth the price. The front desk staff was also very polite and nice.However, the location is extremely difficult to find. You can't get there unless you go through a one-way shopping street. It's definitely confusing at first glance.The location is almost right in front of the station, so shopping and eating are not a problem, but there are a lot of people. It is quite difficult to enter this area by car. Please be careful as pedestrians will not be affected.

The space is quite good, close to the station, and the living functions nearby are good. There are 24-hour supermarkets and supermarkets. There are also many restaurants to eat, and there are many barbecue restaurants in the evening.There is an elevator for checking luggage, but the counter may not be able to communicate in Chinese and requires body language communication.

Very nice hotel with big lobby, clean rooms and tasty breakfast (optional but worth the money). There is an amenities counter in the lobby that provides you with anything you need, from toothbrushes over face masks to bathing salt. Washing clothes is a big difficult though, as there are only two washing machines that are in high demand.

The honey tea in the amenities is delicious! Other hotels (such as super hotels) use the lowest quality tea, but this one is different. Details like that are important when choosing a hotel (I stayed there for 8 nights). This was my first time staying at this chain, and I felt like I should try it in other areas as well.The handmade Kamakura guide is also wonderful. One point that I would like to see improved is that it was not possible to deliver suitcases to the airport (you can only pay on delivery at the front desk). othersThis was a bit of a hassle since I've never been turned down by any hotel chain.Memo: Resona is next door, Japan Post is on the 1st floor of the stationpostscript:The 2nd floor smells like mold. I thought it was strange, but the walls of the laundry room were covered in mold. I can't believe they left this situation alone.The shower curtain in the room was also moldy, as if it wasn't checked regularly.

Everything is good (it’s worth mentioning that I didn’t know how good the WiFi speed of this hotel was until I stayed at other hotels. The WiFi speed of other hotels was quite slow😿). If I pass by nearby next time, I will definitely book again.

The two washing machines are competitive, and since they are drum-type, it takes two hours to dry them, so if you miss your chance, you'll feel hopeless. It's best to go and wait a few minutes before the previous one ends. The washing machine runs until midnight.Also, the cleaning is not done well. Although I vacuumed, made the bed, and cleaned the unit bath, dust was accumulating everywhere. Shampoo and body soap were running low.Was the table wiped? That's what it feels like.Additionally, 8 out of 12 parking spaces on the premises are reserved for monthly parking by a nearby company, and it seems that the convenience of guests is not taken into account. Even if you are told that there is a discount ticket for a faraway parking lot, no one will use it because another parking lot nearby is the same price.If you are staying for several days in a row, the breakfast menu is almost the same, so it is best to stay without meals. I think it would be better to add ¥1100 later on the day you eat.Everything else is normal.
